First are the matching tees Mom gave us for Christmas. They were on clearance on the American Girl website for quite a while, so Mom thought she'd take advantage of it. Felicity and I have each been to the American Girl place in Chicago with Mom, so she chose Chicago ones for us. We never took photos of ourselves in them when we took the other post-Christmas photos - don't ask me why. Aren't they cool? Perfect for the 4th of July, I'd say.

That photo refuses to center. Arg. I'm sick of trying to fix it. Now on to the birthday gift clothes!
First up are our 3 new casual tees. They were advertised on eBay as fitting 18" slim dolls like Julie, and they do fit her quite well. As you can see, they are a little more snug on us AG dolls but still look great.

The dark blue denim jeans Felicity is wearing in the above photo are also new. They are from ____ on eBay. Not only do they fit great and have amazingly accurate details (gold stitching, pockets, belt loops), but they also have a snap fastener, which will hold up much better than velcro.
Next up is another eBay purchase. I've had my eye on this shirt and skirt ensemble for a long time. It's made by the same Hong Kong-based eBay store that our 2 lovely pink and blue spring dresses came from. The skirt has a super tight waist band, which makes it a little hard to get on. It's worth it as cute as it is, I'd say, and the elastic will hopefully stretch out a bit in time.

Next, check out Julie in this sweet spring dress for 18" slim dolls. Pink really is a good color on her. Oh, how I wish it fit me!

Up last are the 3 complete outfits made by American Girl.
This first one, the Frosty Party Outfit, was an eBay purchase. We all admired it in the catalogue back in 2011-2012 and are tickled pink to add it to our wardrobe. The soft, sparkly sweater will have to wait for winter, but the headband, skirt, and shoes are definitely going to be worn a ton long before then.

According to Grandma, the last two outfits were bought directly from the American Girl website back sometime in mid to late 2012 when some sort of discount was being offered. First is the Weekend Fun Outfit. It came with a white vest, which Felicity refused to wear, lol. I think it looks better without it too. The floral shirt, pink sandals, and stretchy pink headband are all awesome. The capris are comfy once they're on. However, they are a little tough to get all the way on because they are rather narrow in the lower leg area.

Finally, here I am in the Feeling Great Outfit. I foresee this one being worn a ton too because it is so comfortable and will mix and match well. It comes with a wide stretchy headband to keep hair out of your face and pink and purple athletic shoes. No socks, but we often don't bother with them anyway.

Thanks, Mom! We are 4 lucky dolls.
